At the end of the day, if you think about it, flying is still ridiculously cheap. Oil costs can really change things in a hurry but planes cost a lot as do pilots and crew. But somehow, I can get a flight from Richmond to Atlanta and back for $150 right now. Or, hell, our roundtrip flight in January to Bogota, Colombia from DC cost $270 (+$100 in taxes that the airlines don't get).
In most cases, it's cheaper to fly now than in the 70s and that doesn't adjust for inflation ($100 in 1975 is worth almost $400 today, FYI).
